Leica summilux m 24mm f 1 4 asph vs voigtl nder nokton 21mm f 1 4 aspherical?

The Leica Summilux-M 24mm f/1.4 ASPH is the easier pick if you shoot a Leica M. It's a manual-focus prime for full frame, and at 24mm the view is close to natural, so it works for street, travel and everyday shooting. See the Leica Summilux-M 24mm f/1.4 ASPH page for the full list of compatible bodies.

The Voigtländer Nokton 21mm f/1.4 Aspherical is the wider and more versatile choice. It fits Sony E as well as Leica M, and it works on Sony APS-C bodies too, where it frames like about 32mm. If you want the wider view and you're not committed to Leica, this is the one I'd buy.

If you want the Leica 21mm instead, know that it needs an external finder, live view or an EVF, as its Leica Summilux-M 21mm f/1.4 ASPH page explains.
